New Year Eve and New Year resolutions!

Christmas has passed, and the curtain call is coming for the year 2006. What have I accomplished so far? Well, I guess I have no regrets about many things. But one thing I can be sure of, I am always hoping to improve financial situation. Aren't we all? So what's my coming new year's resolutions and aspirations? Well, I do have a few resolutions. I'm renewing one in particular...

The resolve to puff out the last stick of ciggie! I know I know.. You must be thinking, what's a yoga enthusiast doing with a stick of cigarette. Yes.. my yoga teacher has for many many times, remind me to cut down or cut off this vice. However, I'm only human...oops! there I go again. giving myself a lame excuse to defend the habit of smoking!

Ai... I guess if I delve into it deeper, I'd be thinking of how this body, complete with all the right components and endowed with 'perfect' attributes (as in not born deformed or handicapped) could waste it away by subjecting it to the toxins of a smoke. I guess my parents and my loved ones, right up to my ancestors will not be very happy. In fact, they're not pleased since I picked this habit at the age of 23. (There I go again, justifying that I'm a late bloomer on smokes!)


I know, I know. I must kick the bloody habit by new years eve.. heck even at this very minute. Can I do that though? I'm not sure. I know my will power is utterly meek when it comes to having a drag. I can be so focus on my work, my writings, my chores at home. But, nothing beats a good, long drag. Ai... I have to stop this as soon or else, My lungs will be stricken with black, sticky tar patches and my aveolis will be burnt to smithereens!

Another resolution I'd like to renew is to improve myself physically, spiritually and mentally. That means, I've got to 'like' to go back to the Gym, Gym was a part of my culture back in mid 90s. I stopped going to the gym since 2004. Reason? Well, the routine... yes. it's the bloody routine. Spiritually, I have a lot to learn. I think I'm far from a guru.. I don't dare to say I'm one...

We all have resolutions to make and keep. The best is if you can make it come true. Sure, a lot of them are broken. But if you can keep it, that's worth bragging about. Don't you think so? I hope your resolutions are achievable, within a time frame and manageable.

May 2007 bring forth wonderful opportunities and blessings to you!
